Char-Broil Performance Pro S 3 Stainless Steel Gas Grill with Cast Iron Grates and TRU-Infrared Technology

Char-Broil Performance PRO S 3 is a compact, well-equipped gas grill with stainless-steel elements and a 3+1 burner configuration. TRU-Infrared™ Technology, porcelain-coated cast-iron grates, an included reversible griddle and Chef’s Delite system provide plenty of versatility for family BBQ, while Char-Broil officially rates the grill for 4–6 people.

🔥 TRU-INFRARED™ TECHNOLOGY

The TRU-Infrared™ system uses an emitter between the flames and cooking grates to distribute heat evenly. Char-Broil highlights even heat, reduced flare-ups, easier cleaning and food that can be up to 50% juicier.

🔥 THREE STAINLESS-STEEL BURNERS

Three stainless-steel main burners provide a combined output of 7.91 kW. Independent burner control allows separate direct and indirect heat zones.

🍳 SIDE BURNER

The side burner delivers 3.22 kW and can be used for sauces, side dishes and cookware. When not in use, the lid closes to provide additional workspace.

The official manual lists a total nominal heat input of 11.13 kW for model 468504322.

▭ 54.3 × 43.5 CM MAIN COOKING GRATE

The official main cooking grate measures approximately 54.3 × 43.5 cm, equivalent to about 2,362 cm² by geometric calculation. Char-Broil rates this three-burner model for 4–6 people.

🍖 PORCELAIN-COATED CAST-IRON GRATES

The cooking grates are made from porcelain-coated cast iron, offering strong heat retention and good sear marks while being durable and easy to clean.

🍳 INCLUDED REVERSIBLE CAST-IRON GRIDDLE

An included cast-iron griddle with one smooth and one ribbed side expands cooking options for vegetables, seafood, burgers, eggs and smaller foods.

👨‍🍳 CASAGRILL RECOMMENDS

For steaks and burgers, fully preheat the TRU-Infrared™ system and cast-iron grates. For chicken or larger cuts, switch off one burner to create an indirect cooking zone.

The included griddle is particularly useful for vegetables, seafood and smaller foods that could fall through the grate.

🏡 IDEAL FOR

Families of 4–6 people, patios and backyards where a compact grill with three main heat zones, a side burner and additional cooking surfaces is desired.

⚠️ SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Use outdoors only and follow the Char-Broil owner's manual. The official manual for model 468504322 lists butane, propane or mixed-gas configurations depending on destination country and operating pressure, so always use the regulator and gas pressure specified for the locally supplied version.

Regularly inspect the hose and connections and perform a leak test after connecting the gas supply. Shut off the gas after use and allow the grill to cool before cleaning or moving it.

🏆 CASAGRILL VERDICT

Char-Broil Performance PRO S 3 is a well-balanced option for 4–6 people, combining a compact footprint with three burners, TRU-Infrared™, a side burner and two useful additional cooking surfaces — the reversible griddle and Chef’s Delite.
